Pakistan is in Southern Asia, bordering the Arabian Sea, located between India on the east and Iran and Afghanistan on the West and China to the north.

It is the sixth-most populous country in the world with a population of almost 202 million people in an area roughly twice the size of California.

WHAT WE'RE DOINGThis group of artisans from Pakistan is equipping women out of extreme poverty by teaching them to read, write, and training them to sew. Mushtaq and Kanwel lead this group of Christian artisans in Pakistan. Within a year, these women are able to earn a steady income and support their families. They are no longer bound to employment where abuse and poverty are the cultural norm. Their newfound skills empower them toward financial stability, transforming their self-esteem and forging a hope for their families' future. ​
